Name Image and Likeness (NIL) has been a point of contention for college athletes for over a century. In the earliest days, athletes had complete control of their image. Within a few decades, athletes lost this control.

While college athletes should have control over their NIL rights as individuals, the complications of media rights as addressed in the House settlement make things very challenging.

In this talk, Theresa Walton-Fisette will outline two different lines of current research examining data related to collegiate athletics. One line focuses on the Mid-American Conference, examining the economic realities of mid-major conferences, with more than 50% of athletic department budgets supported by student fees or direct institutional support.

Preliminary findings demonstrate that neither conference realignment nor football success has a statistically significant impact on enrollment.
